A condensed introduction to the basic concepts of causal perturbation theory is given. Causal perturbation theory is a mathematically rigorous approach to renormalization theory, which makes it possible to put the theoretical setup of…
We discuss the large order behaviour and Borel summability of the topological expansion of models of 2D gravity coupled to general $(p,q)$ conformal matter. In a previous work it was proven that at large order $k$ the string susceptibility…
A fundamental problem with attempting to quantize general relativity is its perturbative non-renormalizability. However, this fact does not rule out the possibility that non-perturbative effects can be computed, at least in some…
The progress of the last decade in perturbative quantum field theory at high temperature and density made possible by the use of effective field theories and hard-thermal/dense-loop resummations in ultrarelativistic gauge theories is…
Quantum field theory unifies concepts from quantum theory and from special relativity. Its mathematically rigorous description is quite intricate and is only partially understood; this is particularly true for the construction of operators…
The Stark effect in hydrogen and the cubic anharmonic oscillator furnish examples of quantum systems where the perturbation results in a certain ionization probability by tunneling processes. Accordingly, the perturbed ground-state energy…
The infinite dimensional generalization of the quantum mechanics of extended objects, namely, the quantum field theory of extended objects is employed to address the hitherto nonrenormalizable gravitational interaction following which the…
We demonstrate that a Meijer-G-function-based resummation approach can be successfully applied to approximate the Borel sum of divergent series, and thus to approximate the Borel-\'Ecalle summation of resurgent transseries in quantum field…
This paper presents a research program aimed at establishing relational foundations for relativistic quantum physics. Although the formalism is still under development, we believe it has matured enough to be shared with the broader…
This is a doctoral thesis dissertation developed in the frame of theoretical QCD predictions, with focus on two main topics. On the one hand, the large-order bahavior of perturbative QCD series is discussed. By reviewing the main…
By using methods of umbral nature, we discuss new rules concerning the operator ordering. We apply the technique of formal power series to take advantage from the wealth of properties of the exponential operators. The usefulness of the…
Black hole perturbation theory beyond second order is not well understood because typically one defines the meaning of gauge invariance order by order which is ambiguous. In this series of works we therefore developed a new approach which…
This paper investigates summability principles for multilinear summing operators. The main result presents a novel inclusion theorem for a class of summing operators, which generalizes several classical results. As applications, we derive…
The quantum-field renormalization group method is one of the most efficient and powerful tools for studying critical and scaling phenomena in interacting many-particle systems. The multiloop Feynman diagrams underpin the specific…
We examine the large-order behaviour of a recently proposed renormalization-group-improved expansion of the Adler function in perturbative QCD, which sums in an analytically closed form the leading logarithms accessible from…
We study a class of perturbative scalar quantum field theories where dynamics is characterized by Lorentz-invariant or Lorentz-breaking non-local operators of fractional order and the underlying spacetime has a varying spectral dimension.…
We give an indication that gravity coupled to an infinite number of fields might be a renormalizable theory. A toy model with an infinite number of interacting fermions in four-dimentional space-time is analyzed. The model is finite at any…
A new formalism is given for the renormalization of quantum field theories to all orders of perturbation theory, in which there are manifestly no overlapping divergences. We prove the BPH theorem in this formalism, and show how the local…
Path integrals have played a fundamental role in emphasizing the profound analogies between Quantum Field Theory (QFT), and Classical as well as Quantum Statistical Physics. Ideas coming from Statistical Physics have then led to a deeper…
A new general approach is introduced for definining an optimum zero-order Hamiltonian for Rayleigh-Schr\"odinger perturbation theory. Instead of taking the operator directly from a model problem, it is constructed to be a best fit to the…
